VERDICT

Should I use Pragmatic Mortgage Lending?

A mortgage built around your life. Compare Canadian mortgage options, calculate payments, and plan your purchase, renewal or refinance with Pragmatic Mortgage Lending. - pragmatic.mortgage

Depends. A reasonable pick if you are buying, renewing, or refinancing in British Columbia and want a broker to compare lenders for you. Skip it if you are outside Canada, or want a service with a proven independent track record — public review evidence is nearly nonexistent.

Confidence

Low. Based on 8 usable public sources; independent review evidence is very thin, hence low confidence.
